Stereo-Straight

Stereo-Straight

A Poem by Xavier Honre
"

The only thing I want is the one thing I can't have.

"

I feel your hand,

Touching my skin.

Quietly I hope,

For it never to end.


 

But after a moment,

It's gone and you leave.

Leaving me wanting,

With my heart on my sleeve.


 

There's a forbidden love,

Between you and I.

And the terror of the boundaries,

Make me want to cry.


 

I spend my nights,

Thinking of you.

And wondering what would be,

If only you knew.


 

Would you hate and despise,

My feelings for you?

Or would you understand,

And accept the truth?


 

Still there's a chance,

That you might like me.

But your social status,

Won't let you free.


 

No matter what,

I won't get my way.

Because you're stereo-straight,

And I'm openly-gay.

This is well done, the flow is great... and it's sad at the same time. So depressing, but still wonderful! You let Nicki use this in his journal, I read about it yesterday and read his journal... so I first saw it there. And though this is my second time reading this poem, it's still as great as it was then! No changes of mind.

By the way, awesome last verse. One of the best ending poems I've read!

Very young, very hopeful, very true.
I like the title play with your description of yourself.
You have so much potential. Great job.

This flows so nicely. Very straight forward and sensitive.
I can fully understand the complications of having a different sexual orientation than the one you 'love'.

Keep writing!
Stay strong!

I like the 2nd to last stanza, because it shows why they're afriad to admit the truth to themselves...
I liked the flow / rhyme scheme!
Thank you for your submission
